They state the first wave hits this summer, though. With DST's release patterns, we probably won't see these until the holidays. Or next year.

WOOHOOOO!!!!
It has finally happened! My gods, what great news! I can't wait to see who is coming first, roll on ToyFair!!!!
Sorry, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree and say best frakkin' action figure news ever!!!
Thank you DST!!!
P.S.- Is AA making these? The press release on Diamond's site doesn't mention them, but other sites do. Add to that, the fact that they say ships and figures when AA already has done 1 ship. Hmmm....

I'm hoping it is definitely AA that does the figures and I'm also hoping AA does these in scale and style as the TNG figures.

"With Battlestar Galactica, it was an incredibly easy decision to make," said Diamond Select Toys Marketing and Sales Supervisor, Michael Leavey. "We quickly added it to our library of properties and, as with our Star Trek and Stargate lines, we immediately began building a whole universe of Galactica products.”
Battlestar Galactica premiered as a mini-series in 2003 to rave reviews from both critics and fans of the classic property, setting viewership records for the SCI FI Channel. Leaving much of traditional science fiction behind, the new Battlestar Galactica instead focused on character-driven conflicts and the series’ epic storytelling style as viewers followed the triumphs and hardships of the Colonial Fleet. Having received the prestigious American Film Institute’s honorific “TV Program of the Year” for the second consecutive year, the stellar drama returns to the SCI FI Channel on January 21, 2007 in a new timeslot; Sunday evenings at 10:00 pm EST.
In addition to the riveting plots and special effects, Battlestar Galactica features an incredibly diverse cast of characters portrayed by a mix of seasoned veterans and Hollywood newcomers. Accomplished actors Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell provide the necessary leadership as Admiral Adama and President Roslin, with a sizable supporting cast featuring the talents of Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tricia Helfer and Grace Park. With guest stars like Lucy Lawless, Dean Stockwell and Battlestar Galactica veteran Richard Hatch, this impressive cast steals the show and delivers rock-solid performances week after week.
This new licensing agreement expands upon Art Asylum’s previous arrangement to produce Minimates, resin statues and busts based on the red hot sci-fi franchise. With sculpts already well underway, DST plans to release the first action figure assortment this summer. The debut series will feature several key characters from the smash-hit series, including the seductive Six. Specific product announcements, as well as timetables for their release dates, will be featured in future Diamond Select Toys communications, and at the upcoming International Toy Fair.

I think it could be:
Six
Commander Adama (possible Admiral variant)
Lee (flight Suit)
Lee Variant (Blue uniform or under shirt).

For me, with the SG-1, SGA, AND a few Trek figures here and there I'm broke.

I've wanted figures from this show since it premiered! And to top it all off, my favorite character, Lee Adama is in the first series! Now I just wonder if they're going to follow the same pattern as our beloved Trek; 2 characters per wave, variations on each character? There could be 3 for Apollo: Flight suit, dress blues, undershirts. That could work for several of the crew (Helo, Starbuck, Athena). I guess red and white dress repaints for Six. This line holds a lot of character possibilities if DST uses their "head switch" strategy as with Trek. Felix Gaetta anyone?
Of course, if they do Admiral Adama with his correct heavy build, DST could always do a "Fat Lee" variant.

Apollo (standard uniform)
Apollo (flight suit)
Six (red dress)
Six (variant chase figure)
With one of the Apollos being a Previews exclusive. They might do a undershirt Apollo as a con exclusive or promo of some kind like they did for the Stargate line. I think we'll see a lot of specials for the line's launch and this inaugural wave.
I can't wait to see a Cyclon Centurion. I'm going to have to army build like crazy with that bad mother!

You're telling me, brother. With BSG, TWOK, and DS9 figures coming I'm practically chomping at the bit!
